WEAVER'S SKILL USAGE GUIDE
Shukuchi
Shukuchi is your "main" ability, you will use this a lot as it is both cheap in mana (though your mana pool might say otherwise in the early levels), and its a good extra speed boost when both in and out of combat. Use this when you need to get somewhere fast, or just need to get somewhere and got the mana to spare but don't use it too much, you will need it for escaping and for harass as well as farming, once you get Radiance you'll see for yourself just how fast those creeps drop.
The Swarm
I have to admit that i am very bad at using The Swarm much, as i said earlier i take one shot of this early just to have it then max it as my last non-ult skill. However what i do know is that it is sort of two sides of a coin. On one side it is really handy when it comes to picking apart your opponents armor, being able to remove up to 20 armor, with one armor being removed per sec of the beetles clinging to your opponents. The bad side of this is that the beetles easily die and is quickly dealt with in most cases, so often most you'll find this ability to be the most useful in team fights or when picking on one of the enemy champs. DO NOT use this when you are being chased or is chasing, it'll slow you down and you can spend your mana much more wisely on Shukuchi or Time Lapse.
Time Lapse
Speaking of Time Lapse, lets talk a little about your lifesaver ability. Time Lapse is as i said your best bet of surviving hordes of enemies coming to squeeze every penny they can out of you. The instant you see a group of enemies coming at you, press R, turn around and W your way back, you do not want to be a feeder which is easy if you play Weaver bad (Not saying this build might be the best, but still). Time lapse can also be used if you just been somewhere and you see something is about to happen there, say you are about to leave Rho's den when you see your friends gets into a lil' fight with the other team, if you can fight decently as Weaver that would be a good time to use Time Lapse, if not just leave them, you'll need your anyway, though you might want to send a swarm their way just to soften them up for your friends.
Geminate Attack
Finally we got your passive, Geminate Attack, there isn't really much to say on how to use it since it pretty much uses itself. Still it doesn't hurt to think a little when you see your ability is ready, see a creep with too high hp left for a single normal hit but might die on two? Well you get the idea, the same goes for champions, use them to get that extra tick of hp out of them, it might not seem that big a difference at the start, but i find it quite useful from the start.
WEAVER'S STRATEGY GUIDE
So from the game starts i buy one Glove of Haste and a Healing Salve. Healing Salve is pretty self explanatory, we don't want to die early on because we are squishy. Now you might think "but why Glove?" And my answer to that my friend is: more attacks.
When i start out with putting my one point in Geminate Attack i feel like i want to take more advantage of that skill and to do that the best i think that being able to deal more damage between CD is a good way to take full use of the skill. Secondly it makes sure our Power Treads gets as cheap as if you bought boots. But why not boots then? Because that's what we got Shukuchi for until we buy Power Treads of course. So by buying Gloves we give ourselves some nice extra AS which allows us to deal more damage in less time, and you are still 500 g off on Power Treads. We could also go with two pairs of Slippers of Agility and the rest of the starting items, but i feel it's good to be able to get Power Treads earlier.
Okay so the game is about 5-7 minutes in and you have probably gotten a good plenty of gold, maybe you got a kill or two in which case, gratz you'll get all your early game items right now! However if you didn't i suggest you think about getting two Wraith Bands before you go with Power Treads, you have speed in Shukuchi so Treads can wait (unless your enemies easily catches up to you) I'd say it depends on the situation you are in, if you are against people like Sandking and Morphling who is good at pursuing, or Pudge who'll drag you in for a, go with Treads, you'll want to get away. If you however feel that you'll need more damage, more health, and more mana, go with the two Wraith Bands which can later be upgraded into two Rings of Aquilia.
Midgame/lategame is upon us and this is where the team fights usually start going on when it comes to pushing. By now you should be able to do a decent farm job by using Shukuchi and earn your kills with normal hits. Once you have acquired enough gold buy yourself Sacred Artifact for a huge load of extra damage. I normally take Sacred Artifact before i start building on Butterfly because Radiance makes farming easier and faster. Furthermore by doing so we'll also get our next items more quickly, when you got sufficient gold start building up the items necessary for Butterfly, i usually go with Talisman of Evasion and Quaterstaff for extra survival and damage. In this phase you still need to farm, join in on team fights only if you feel you can play it safe, you are still squishy but your damage should be good enough to get the enemies health down + your The Swarm will help out greatly when your opponents are busy with your team. If you join a team fight i suggest "sneak attacks" Run in with Shukuchi and quickly out to avoid being focused, as stated many times before you are squishy and therefore and obvious choice to get rid of first, on top of the fact you should deal a lot of damage so they'll want you gone. Start your attacks with The Swarm but only if the opponents are occupied enough for swarm to do its job.
Endgame, if all goes well your team should be winning (we'll hope), and i tend to use this phase to make sure them minions get to the enemies base. Still be careful, it the enemies aren't on the map they are either doing Rho or they are coming for you. Keep on supporting team fights but remember play it safe, as the carry you'll want to have a lot of damage and be able to bug your opponents, hopefully get some kills, but nothing is guaranteed.
